Well, I'll toss FSJ1-50 into the mix. No worries about percentage of shield,
or bimetallic problems. It's 1/4 miniature hardline.
It connects nicely into PL-259 connectors with the larger adaptor, and into
N and BNC connectors. 100% shielding.

It's been said over and over, the foil rubs against
the braid and causes noise. This is especially bad on
